The guys (and gals) of Fullerton showed Saturday night they could be sweet and spicy, and always giving.

Amateur chefs from around the community brought their best dishes for the annual Food Loving Guys (and Gals!) fundraiser for Pathways to Hope. There were appetizers, side dishes, entrees and desserts entered into the contest.

The event was held this year at the Fullerton Community Center with guests able to wander among the tables and taste everyone's offerings.
